Car Accident Lawyer in Temple, GA

Every year, more than six million car accidents happen across the United States. One-third of those accidents cause injuries to drivers, passengers, or others involved. Even more cause property damage. In any of these cases, the lives of those involved will never be the same.

If you are injured in a car accident, you may find yourself facing extensive medical bills, lost income, and property damage that affects your daily life. If you didn’t cause the accident, you shouldn’t be responsible for the financial repercussions. That’s why you should contact The Embry Law Firm.

What to Do After a Car Accident

Immediately after a car accident, there is a lot going on around you. You may be in pain, shocked, and unsure of what to do. The Embry Law Firm would like to offer some recommendations for what to do that can help protect you, your safety, and your legal rights.

• Get Somewhere Safe: If you are able, get yourself and others involved in the accident to a safe location on the side of the road. If the vehicles are operational, move them out of traffic lanes. If they are not, stay away from moving traffic. Also, never attempt to move someone who is trapped or seriously injured.
• Call 911: Georgia law requires that you report any car accident involving damage or injuries to police. Call 911 and request an officer and ambulance, if needed. Never leave the scene of an accident until you are cleared to do so. If you do, you could be charged with hit-and-run – a serious crime!
• Document the Scene: If you are able to do so, take photos of the scene, damage, and anything that may be relevant to determining what happened. Take photos of the entire scene, and also close up photos of any damage. Take photos of any injuries that you have, as well.
• Exchange Information: You should exchange contact and insurance information with other drivers involved in a car accident. Copy their license plate information also, in case someone leaves the scene too soon. If tensions are high, a police officer can help you exchange information.
